And since we all know who is the world leader this is aimed at - seems like Twitter is begging for regulation as retaliation strike.
- merpnderp 7y agoCan regulation come soon enough? And what better time than when Congress is split and we have the best hope of something resembling what rational people would create?
- ReptileMan 7y agoI don't know. But if twitter sends the perception that they take a side in the election and in the middle of November 2020 the Republicans have won the house and presidency, they will be in a bad place.
- Mountain_Skies 7y agoMaybe they want regulation. Currently they get attacked no matter what they do. Regulation allows them to wash their hands of their messiest issue and when anyone gets angry, they can point to the regulations and blame the government.
- ReptileMan 7y agoHonestly the best solution is social networks to be declared as public fora or something definition based on common carrier - they are forced to not discriminate about speech, but they are immune. California has a something about the fora in the state constitution that was relevant about right to protest in malls.
- tzs 7y agoSo if I run a forum for discussion of chess, and someone keeps posting long rants about how all the <vulgar word for black people> are low IQ thieves who should be deported to Africa, Jews are keeping white people down and its too bad Hitler was stopped before he finished what he started with them, and also posts his Death Eaters gang rape Hermione fanfiction, and none of this has the slightest thing to do with chess...I should have to leave these posts up and not ban that account, unless I want to take responsibility for everything anyone says on my forum?
- ReptileMan 7y agoMake a chess forum with couple of billion users that use it as main form of communication and then lets sweat after that question.
